Appearance

Ungalo is a young man of ordinary height and build, marked by a rather flat face, tiny beady black eyes, prominent teeth, and a U-shaped notch beneath his left eye. His ears run long and pointed but stay hidden, as does his braided, pistachio-green hair, both tucked under the knit cap he wears. His shirt is scattered with dots linked together by lines, and as one of DIO's offspring he carries the Star Birthmark. Onlookers tend to remark that he is not much to look at.

Personality

He took on some of the ugliest parts of his father's nature, including outright cruelty and a craving to drag the world into ruin out of spite. A drug user with a short fuse, he is quick to violence, driving a blade into Pucci's neck without a moment's pause. Once he grasps how nearly unbeatable his Stand is, he grows idle, content to let it act while he lounges aboard a plane sipping champagne. His bravado, though, hides a fragile sense of self-worth, and he crumbles into panic the instant Bohemian Rhapsody is beaten.

History

Born in 1988 to DIO and an unnamed woman, Ungalo spent his early life as an addict sunk in misery, ignorant of the Stand within him. Pulled toward Florida by the strange gravitational pull that draws certain people together, he first appears climbing out of an ambulance with scissors pressed to Enrico Pucci's throat. When he stabs Pucci through the neck, the priest survives by a hair's breadth and urges him to turn his energy toward something better than narcotics. Police open fire, but Ungalo is improbably spirited away by the little figure on a crossing sign, and he later resurfaces in a hospital room with Pucci and his half-brothers Donatello Versus and Rikiel.

His awakened Stand, Bohemian Rhapsody, pours fictional characters into the real world and forces people to relive the fates of the characters they most identify with, an ability so versatile and overwhelming that it topples numerous Stand users with ease. Boarding a plane, Ungalo lets the power rampage unchecked while he drinks wine and revels in reports of the mayhem, framing it as vengeance for his wretched life. His triumph ends abruptly when a cheerful girl reading Peter Pan reveals, unknowingly, that his Stand has already been defeated, and he collapses in stunned silence.
